FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional handball players?
The Handball Spezial are classic shoes that offer good performance for recreational play and training. For professional-level play requiring maximum support and advanced technology, other specialized handball shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a little room at the toe, and your heel does not slip excessively. Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear for the intended activity.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas trainers?
The Handball Spezial is characterized by its retro design, typically a suede or leather upper, and a low-profile silhouette originally designed for handball. Other trainers may have different designs, materials, and support features tailored for different sports or lifestyles.
How durable is the suede/leather upper?
The upper material is designed for durability during regular use. However, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or abrasive surfaces can lead to wear and tear.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Handball Spezial offers standard cushioning and a generally flat sole. For individuals requiring significant arch support, using insoles or orthotics may be beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and try to break them in by walking. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size up or a wider fit if available.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clean. For improved traction on specific indoor courts, consider a professional cleaning or an appropriate traction spray designed for athletic shoes.
Discoloration of the white material
Gently clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Address stains promptly to prevent them from setting.
